Mr. Lewis and his island

Edwin Lewis, the millionaire who built hunting cabins on an Eastern Shore Island that were later declared to be illegal, STILL has not torn them down.

Here, the Salisbury times gives the details. Apparently, he was willing to tear them down, but ONLY if he could build a house there instead.

This was a landmark Critical Area violation case -- one of the biggest ones in history, before the Little Island lighthouse/gazebo/house situation.

Whats with the rusty red colored water in the inner harbor? Also, lots of dead fish 2 days ago in tide point area. Nothing like the fish kill last year but what is the issue?

About Tim Wheeler

I report on the environment and Chesapeake Bay. A native of West Virginia, I have focused mainly on Maryland's environment since moving here in 1983. Along the way, I've crewed aboard a skipjack in the bay, canoed under city streets up the Jones Fall from the Inner Harbor, and gone deep underground in a western Maryland coal mine. Recently, I have been covering the growth and development transforming the landscape. I love seafood, rambles in the country and good stories. I hope to share some here.
